Chapter 479: 477: Take it away in one wave (two in one)
They asked Luo Yi to "show mercy", but these three marquises had no intention of showing mercy.
When the desolate horn sounded, the world fell silent.
Shirtless men swung their arms and beat war drums. The drumbeats, like heartbeats, became more and more frequent, as if to awaken the desire to kill in people's hearts.
Knights are knights after all. They are born for battle and die for battle.
No matter how poorly or carelessly they usually behave, at this moment, everyone seems to have awakened and become extremely efficient.
The legions of the three marquises were composed of the Carlyle family's legion as the center, the Castro family's legion as the left, and the McKinley family's legion as the right.
The three armies were arranged in parallel, with the two sides pressing forward first, and the central army moving relatively slowly, forming a semi-encirclement.
According to their previous fighting style, they would first send out militia to test the enemy and fight a wave to gauge the strength of the enemy.
Then he arranged for the Knights to stay in the back, killing those who had deserted out of fear, and also looking for opportunities to fight.
Although the knight charge is powerful, it is more like a final blow and should not be used lightly.
The commander needs to observe the battlefield, look for opportunities, and find the enemy's weaknesses in a life-and-death fight before sending his army forward.
Just like that hammer, it sweeps across the battlefield at the critical moment and determines the victory.
But this time, the three marquises did not make such arrangements.
They knew clearly that if the Flower Guards were given time to show their strength, the artillery positions at the rear alone would bombard them with such great difficulty that the 60,000-strong army would fall apart.
They only have one chance!
Therefore, they directly used their strongest tactic - the knight group charge.
The infantry were placed directly at the rear, accompanying the charge and fighting in favorable situations. Those in the front were all the knightly orders that the major nobles could muster.
The Knights of Castro's Glory, the Knights of McKinley's Beast Bear, the Knights of Carlisle's Nabia, the Knights of Bart, the Knights of the Boar, the Knights of Ice, the Knights of the Raging Sea...
They lined up in a row. Although their mounts were different, they were all armored and neatly dressed. Rows of dragon spears were erected, like a steel jungle.
And those at the forefront are the most powerful extraordinary knights.
They fought with all their might, and colorful lights flashed, then spread out in the form of knight halos, covering as many cavalrymen as possible.
The mage groups from the three marquisates also gathered together and showed off their best skills.
What the Carlisle Family Mages took out was an ancient scroll, written on precious dragon skin, with blood wrapped around it and carrying a deep and endless aura.
When the scroll was unfolded, the spell was chanted, and a large amount of magic power was input, the magic group of a hundred people even became breathless and their faces turned pale.
That was caused by excessive consumption of magic power. All the magicians were frantically pouring potions into their mouths.
But the effect is amazing!
The sky turned blood red, as if the clouds were infected by killing. Raindrops fell on the 60,000 soldiers and merged into their bodies.
Then, their eyes became bloodshot, the fear and nervousness before the battle were swept away, and everyone became bloodthirsty and crazy.
This is legendary magic, super large-scale group bloodthirstiness!
Bloodthirst spells are very common, and group bloodthirst spells are equally common, but super-large-scale magic that can cover 60,000 people is unique.
Its value is immeasurable!
Its only flaw is that under the spell, command becomes more difficult. To be precise, apart from leading them to charge, you can't do much command.
However, the probability of taking out the enemy in one wave is greater.
This is also the solution that the three marquises came up with after much thought!
Due to the lack of targeted training, they were really afraid that the camp would be blown up once the artillery fire started.
Of course, this alone is definitely not enough.
Then, a third-level peak magician from the McKinley family magic group took out the second legendary scroll.
After it unfolded, magic power surged and elements became turbulent, and then, an endless howling wind was set off from south to north.
The sky and the earth were in turmoil, with flying sand and rocks, confusing people's eyes and making it difficult to see things. Tornadoes were also generated, seemingly able to blow away everything!
Legendary magic, strong wind blows!
Although it is not extremely harmful, it can change the weather environment of a place and is definitely quite rare.
This magic is not very practical. The last time it was used was at sea.
The legendary pirate, Captain Jack Sparrow of the Black Pearl entered the doldrums and finally used this magic to blow up endless winds and inflate the sails to sail out.
Of course, in reality, no one can afford it. Legendary scrolls are too expensive and very rare.
In order to obtain this scroll, the Castro family not only paid a fortune, but also a huge favor.
The biggest effect of the strong wind at this time is to disrupt the trajectory. In the case of headwind, no matter whether it is field artillery or heavy machine guns, they will be blind.
That’s not the end. Finally, a group of magicians from the Castro family, after drinking a lot of magic potions, began to chant spells inside the prepared hexagram magic circle.
It was a magic circle that had been prepared in advance. Inside it were placed six hearts of stone giant elders, and the earth element was incredibly rich.
It was a truly long spell, so much so that the elements between heaven and earth became agitated and active, and eventually all sank into the earth.
Then, the flat earth began to ripple, just like the surface of water, rippling, extending, and pushing into the distance...
As soon as the spell was formed, almost all the magicians fell down.
Even the leading old wizard, a third-level extraordinary earth wizard at the peak of his power, had his soul completely drained away and fell to the ground.
I can’t die any more!
He sacrificed his life, used the magic power of hundreds of magicians, and offered the hearts of six stone giant elders as sacrifices, and successfully used forbidden spells that were beyond their capabilities.
This kind of magic, comparable to blood sacrifice, is similar to black witchcraft. The death of the stone giant elder attracted the anger of the earth elemental king.
This caused a large-scale earthquake wave.
This is not legendary magic, but in terms of range and power, it even exceeds it.
Then, the earthquake wave pushed forward quickly, the wind howled in the air, and with the blessing of bloodthirst,
If you think that the three marquises are really willing to admit defeat, you are underestimating them.
They even have an extremely deep understanding and research of the war between the Empire and the Alliance, which is why they came up with such tactics.
The earthquake waves destroyed the trenches. If you were slow to hide, you would be buried alive.
The strong wind disrupts the trajectory of the projectiles and provides shelter for our side.
Bloodlust is immune to morale, allowing militia to become combat-ready soldiers.
Finally, the Knights pressed forward with ten times the force and resolved the battle in one fell swoop.
This is their strategy. They have been studying it for who knows how long, and they have made the most of their advantages and background.
In terms of scale, this battle was far smaller than the main battlefield, but the ingenuity contained in it was enough for the coalition forces to study carefully.
At this moment, countless demonic eyes focused in the sky, scanning back and forth. I wonder how many powerful people or nobles were paying attention.
Even the Magic Eye Alliance cast their gaze, turning this battlefield into a clip on the magic mirror.
At this moment, seeing the preparations of the three marquises, their original optimism about the Flower Territory was shaken.
Magical weapons are powerful, but they are no match for the bad guys' elaborate schemes!
At this moment, they seemed to be about to witness the downfall of Flower Territory, the fall of the extremely famous illegitimate Earl, and the scene of this vast territory being divided up.
They are even ready to make a move, thinking about whether they can get a piece of the pie?
In the past two years, everyone knew that Flower Country was rich and even had the most complete industrial chain besides the empire.
If it weren't for Loy's strong stance and the continuous war between the Empire and the Allied Forces, someone might have reached out to the Flower Collar long ago.
Now, they seem to see their opportunity.
Then, just as they were daydreaming, the Flower Leader finally responded.
In the military formation, Luo Yi couldn't help but twitch his mouth when he saw this scene.
Wow, he was really well prepared. The "show of mercy" just now was simply to paralyze him.
[Lion King] covered down and directly brought 6,000 soldiers under his control. He thought about it, gave the order, and the artillery positions in the rear began to show their power.
One after another, the 150mm caliber field guns roared and fired shrapnel shells, which exploded when they got close, splashing countless fragments.
In terms of lethality, it should be quite considerable, but under the fierce wind, it is difficult to maintain the original trajectory.
Most of them were blown off course and landed somewhere unknown. A small part hit the knights, but was blocked by their heavy armor and fighting spirit.
After firing two rounds in a row, Luo Yi knew that this was ineffective. Looking at the dust in the sky, the shaking of the earth and the surging murderous intent, his expression did not change much.
There was even a hint of sneer on the corner of his mouth.
I knew you wouldn't give in so easily. Even ants try to survive, let alone these nobles who have accumulated wealth for who knows how many years?
Therefore, he prepared more than one or two backup plans!
"retreat!"
With one command, it was transmitted to every soldier through the invisible network of the Lion King.
So, the soldiers of the Guards who were originally prepared to resist immediately abandoned their heavy weapons and retreated quickly.
Heavy machine guns, field artillery, ammunition boxes, and baggage were all gone.
At most, they took a semi-automatic rifle and quickly evacuated, running backwards madly.
They are not weak magicians. Although they have accumulated magic power and are considered apprentice magicians,
But the high-intensity physical training every day is not fake. They can run five kilometers with heavy machine guns.
In fact, most of them have cultivated fighting spirit to increase endurance and physical strength, so it is not an exaggeration to say that they are first-level warriors.
They were agile and after leaving the trench, they jumped directly onto the prepared magic heavy truck.
Then, the magic power shone, the engine roared, the accelerator was stepped on to the bottom, and it rushed away amidst the stumbling and cursing of a group of soldiers.
The strong wind made it impossible for the soldiers to open their eyes, but this did not prevent the magic heavy truck from running wildly across the plain.
When the super-large earthquake wave arrived, the ground was like a tide, flooding all the trenches that had been dug with great effort.
Also submerged were the heavy machine guns, field guns, bullets and shells inside, as if they had sunk into a pile of sand and disappeared.
Even the campsites, gates, fences, tents, and even pots and pans were washed up into the sky.
When it fell, it was buried underground again.
This is the power of magic. To a certain extent, it has changed the world!
Following them were the galloping knights, riding their mounts, and under the cover of wind, sand and earthquakes, they had already prepared for the harvest.
In their imagination, what they should face are the panicked flower-leading soldiers, who will then be taken away in one wave.
Their dragon spears are already thirsty!
Their eyes are bloodthirsty and crazy!
There were grim smiles on their faces!
No!
Nothing!
Not a single enemy was seen!
In fact, the changes caused by the earthquake waves made the terrain so complicated that they were forced to slow down.
Of course, their speed was still fast, and the infantry corps that followed had already become sparse.
However, the bloodthirsty technique unleashed their potential, allowing them to run tirelessly.
This scene shocked countless people, especially the nobles and powerful people who were observing through the magic eyes. They couldn't figure out what was going on.
But they didn't have to wait too long, and they saw the most sharp counterattack.
After all, earthquake waves have their limits. The Earth Elemental King is not completely irrational. Being able to arouse a little anger in him is the limit.
The energy of the strong wind was also exhausted. After all, it was just a magic scroll, not a spell cast by a real legendary wizard. It was already amazing that it could cause such a strange change in the celestial phenomena.
Only the bloodthirsty technique is long-lasting enough, and even has a determination not to stop until the body's potential is exhausted.
Even the extraordinary knights and Warcraft mounts were greatly affected, so much so that they almost forgot to think.
The charge is still going on, but the levels have become apparent.
They even dragged their feet and dispersed their formation, no longer having the previous order and solemnity.
However, once the earthquake waves and strong winds ended, the sky immediately cleared up and the visibility became excellent.
Everyone saw it, saw the new trenches, the new battlefield, and the new artillery positions.
At this moment, Loy, Oliveira and the half-giant Bane were standing on the battlefield, looking calm and composed with cold eyes.
You have to admit that Luo Yi is a studious person, but also a person with a strong sense of crisis.
He may not be a famous general, but he had been preparing for the inevitable 'hot battle' long before.
Studying the battles of the Empire and the Allies is secondary. The most important thing is that there is no shortage of classic hot war records in Deep Blue's database.
Luo Yi learned a lot from it.
For example, in trench warfare, you cannot just dig one line of defense. It is necessary to build a second or even a third line of defense in the rear.
A one-time win or loss doesn't mean anything; a strategic victory is the real victory.
Therefore, when the three marquises were traveling slowly, Luo Yi had already made sufficient preparations.
For example, when you have an absolute advantage in transportation, you can consume the opponent's physical strength like walking a dog, and after you have distanced yourself from them, you can disrupt the opponent's formation.
Then find the opponent's weakness, take the initiative to attack, and kill him with one blow.
This is an extremely effective tactic. In the era of cold weapons, it was the favorite kite-flying of light cavalrymen.
In the era of hot war, it was given a new term, called magnetic tactics.
At this time, when the knights broke through the obstruction of wind and sand, they saw the soldiers of the Royal Guard who were ready for battle.
They had already set up heavy machine guns in the dug trenches, and some soldiers were quickly dismantling wooden boxes and taking out ammunition belts.
Others placed rows of grenades in the most convenient places, ready to throw them.
Of course, more infantrymen still held their semi-automatic rifles, squinted their eyes and aimed, waiting for the order.
Behind the trenches were rows of field artillery, which had already been prepared and only needed to be fired.
At this moment, Loyi's order was transmitted to everyone through the invisible network of the Lion King.
"Artillery fire!"
"Infantry, prepare!"
"In this battle, we must take the enemy away in one wave."
"yes!"
It was just a united cry, and amidst the resounding voices, the roar of the bombardment resounded throughout the world.
The artillery battalion of Xianhualing is definitely not a fake of the coalition forces. In some aspects, it is even more specialized than the imperial artillery.
After all, the Empire's artillerymen really don't need to learn calculus to calculate ballistics, but Flower Collar does have some knowledge of it.
And what they typed out was the most standard Xu Jin barrage.
The first round was a test firing, but leaving that aside, from the second round onwards, the shells accurately landed on the leading Extraordinary Knight.
Then, the first wave of the knights who charged received special attention and endured three rounds of artillery fire.
Then, round after round, they swept further away.
If you look from a high altitude, there are almost no blind spots. The entire battlefield has to be bombed, and all places are within the attack range of the artillery shells.
In other words, he was hit by the bloodthirsty spell, otherwise, this wave of bombardment would have caused a complete collapse.
But even if they were not dead, they would still have to face the second round of heavy machine gun fire.
The Maxim Magic Heavy Machine Gun fired 600 bullets per minute, harvesting in a fan-shaped pattern, like a sickle, over and over again.
Moreover, the trench was dug with great care. The two heavy machine guns formed an angle, and there was almost no gap when they fired back and forth.
If you are not dead yet, you will be qualified to enjoy the instant kill from the semi-automatic rifle. The speed is a bit slower, but it is extremely accurate!
Especially the magic sniper rifle, equipped with armor-piercing bullets, many extraordinary knights have to kneel down!
If you get through all of these and get close, you will be eligible to enjoy the one-on-one service of grenades and extraordinary strong men.
After this wave, not to mention others, even their own people, those fourth-order natural disasters in the sky, were stunned.
There is really no way to survive!
Of course, after a while, the machine gunners also became depressed.
Because there were no enemies left for them to fight, and those who were still alive were all fleeing. Even their bloodthirsty spell was forcibly interrupted, and the only thought in their minds was to escape.
At this time, the heavy machine gun's range was not enough.
What can Roy say?
All he could do was wave his hand and have the horn blown.
Then, countless soldiers rushed out of the trenches, holding heavy machine guns, rifles, or grenades, and launched a charge.
Wherever they passed, the artillery fire stopped and the enemies were either killed or surrendered with their heads in their hands.
Especially as we got further back, the infantrymen surrendered faster. It was just like what Luo Yi said, they were taken away in one wave!
